Less compressed air – more energy savings
October 26th 2007

All industrial companies are looking to save energy costs. However, this has to be balanced with maintaining productivity and adhering to health and safety regulations. For compressed air users, the Air Technology Division of www.meech.com has a host of solutions to save energy, reduce noise and provide a high power blow-off force, while using only a minute amount of compressed air.

Energy saving High Thrust Jets provide companies with a high power blast of air, while reducing compressor demand and lowering noise levels. Designed to improve quality in applications such as swarf removal, product drying and material conveying, the high thrust jets are suitable for companies looking to reduce energy bills while increasing performance. Meech has shown that companies can make an annual saving of up to 73% on their air consumption after installing the Meech Jets on a previously open pipe system.

Air Amplifiers are suitable for applications such as product redirection and drying. Very quiet in operation with up to 50dBA noise reduction compared to open-air systems, the air amplifiers can be used in ducted or open situations to handle dust, fumes or granular materials. Air amplification ratios of 12 to 25:1 are achievable. The Air Amplifiers are available in either aluminium or stainless steel and with no moving parts, they are maintenance free.

Other energy saving devices from Meech Air Technology include Safety Nozzles and Safety Blowguns that save up to 70% of compressed air demand while dramatically reducing noise levels. Energy saving Air Curtains are also available, these provide an efficient blade of air for wide area blow off and drying applications.
